Release notes

This is version 1.3 of ACL for Drupal 6.

It has some minor bug fixes, some minor enhancements, and one major one: ACLs can now identified by a number as well as by a name. This has the potential to significantly speed up node access queries, if the client modules can and do adapt to this change.

This version will update your database schema, but it will not change any of the records, and you will not see any immediate change. When the client modules are ready, they can update their records. Yes, it's the client module's job to update their records in the {acl} table! No client module is forced to do this, ever, but those that use numeric 'names' are encouraged to do so.

Note: The devel_node_access (DNA) module, which is part of the Devel module, provides an in-depth view into the inner workings of node access, especially if you enable its debug mode at admin/settings/devel#edit-devel-node-access-debug-mode and its second block. This is a big help for understanding the forces that control access to any given node.

Note the Drupal core issues listed on the ACL front page, which are outside the scope of ACL. Help resolve these issues to make ACL perform even better!
